This webinar will:

  • look at the provisions of the Leasehold and &Freehold Reform Act impacting on the recovery of service charges and estate management charges by stock owning local authorities (or those managing freehold estates), including the introduction of stricter financial administration, enhanced transparency requirements and stronger rights for leaseholders and freeholders to challenge costs;

  • explain the new legal requirements, changes to existing legislation and, most importantly, how this will apply in practice (so far as we know, noting that many provisions anticipate Regulations been introduced containing details for operation);

  • provide key information for local authorities to prepare for the introduction of the provisions under the L&FRA and identify changes that will be needed to policies, procedures, strategies and internal operations.
